The Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (DESOPADEC) has assured Ndokwa communities of more development projects as its board member representing the Ndokwa ethnic nationality, Dr Charles Olisa, inspected ongoing projects in Ndokwa East Local Government Area.
Olisa gave the assurance on Saturday, November 14, 2026, during an inspection of the Assembly Hall at Oduga Secondary School, Ushie, and the Ultra-Modern Civic Centre in Agwetiti Community.
The board member expressed satisfaction with the progress and quality of work at both project sites, commending the contractors for their professionalism, dedication and commitment to meeting the required standards.
He assured the people of Ushie, Agwetiti and the entire Agweyom Community that the projects would be completed soon and made ready for commissioning.
Olisa said DESOPADEC remained committed to attracting more development projects and meaningful interventions to Ndokwa communities in line with the vision of the commission’s Governing Board, led by its Chairman, Olorogun Barrister John Nani, and Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Chief Surveyor Festus Ochonogor.
Describing the projects as evidence of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s M.O.R.E. Agenda in action, he said the commission’s interventions were aligned with the Delta State Government’s development priorities.
According to him, DESOPADEC’s focus on infrastructure, human capital development, youth empowerment and women’s empowerment was part of efforts to complement the state government’s agenda.
He reaffirmed the commission’s commitment to intensifying development interventions across oil-producing communities, stressing that its projects and programmes were designed to improve the living conditions of residents, strengthen community development and promote inclusive growth.
Olisa said the commission would continue to pursue impactful, sustainable and people-oriented projects to ensure that oil-producing communities across Delta State benefited from its interventions.
